Recent Commentary

Immigration Administration Control in Japan  
Hiroshi Kimizuka 02/03/10
Japanese immigration policy seeks to balance the needs of migrants and refugees with the harmonious functioning of Japanese industry, society, and employment.

Managed Rights, Managed Migration  
Midori Okabe 01/26/10
While international migration is yet to be seen as an international public good, the international regime for orderly movement of people may eventually become a norm comparable to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Englishization of Higher Education in Asia and Migratory Flows of International Students  
Kosaku Yoshino 01/26/10
The Malaysian case of English-medium higher education represents what may be called a postcolonial pattern of English-mediated globalization wherein the old center-periphery arguments of linguistic imperialism are no longer tenable.

Linking Ethics and Self-Interest in Human Mobility  
Michele Wucker 01/26/10
The ethical and self-interested choice in migration policy is to seek liberalized and rationalized migration that combines positive incentives with clear and fair entry criteria that take into account the needs of host and sending countries alike.

The Ethics of Undocumented Migration  
Gracia Liu-Farrer 01/25/10
Using fieldwork data through participant observation and interviews, this paper explains the causes of undocumented migration out of Fujian and explores the ethical frameworks within which Fujian undocumented migrants operate.

Cosmopolitanism as Virtue  
James Farrer 01/21/10
Without high levels of migration, and a related ethical commitment to cosmopolitanism, nation-states will fail to develop the individual and collective virtues suitable to "living well" in a global society.

The Capabilities Approach and Collective Ownership of the Earth  
Mathias Risse 01/21/10
If people of a particular country are using more than their proportionate share of the collectively owned planet, they should allow for immigration.

Precarious Lives  
Mark Raper 01/21/10
If existing refugee protection and international humanitarian regimes are already under serious strain, how can global cooperation be extended for the protection of vulnerable persons displaced by climate change?

Reconciling an Ethical Immigration Policy with the Nation-state Myth  
Devin T. Stewart 01/20/10
Don't we, as collective owners and stewards of the Earth, have a basic right to move? Indeed, the right to move is necessary to realize basic human rights such as the right to life, food, and work.

The Ethics of Language Choice in Immigration  
Florian Coulmas 01/20/10
Should language rights be understood as collective rights or individual rights? Do language rights entail active endorsement of immigrant languages on the part of the state, or only passive toleration in the private sphere?

Immigration as a Source of Renewal in Japan  
John Haffner 01/19/10
Despite the many potential benefits of more immigration in Japan -- economic, cultural, global -- the country is likely to do little more than tinker with its immigration levels.

Obama's Jet Plane Diplomacy  
Jeffrey Sachs
Project Syndicate
12/21/09
Blame for the failure of Copenhagen falls on a lot of shoulders, yet Obama took a swipe at international law by abandoning the UN framework in favor of U.S. power and domestic politics.

Ending War in Our Lifetimes?  
Didier Jacobs 12/17/09
President Obama will need to discard old foreign policy doctrines and steer with a more global moral compass to meet the vision of eradicating war in our lifetime.

Too Big to Exist  
Joseph Stiglitz
Project Syndicate
12/09/09
Banks that are too big to fail are too big to exist. If they continue to exist, they must exist in a heavily regulated "utility" model.

Of Mountains and Minarets  
Ian Buruma
Project Syndicate
12/02/09
Attributing the Swiss vote on banning minarets to "Islamophobia" misses the point. It was not so long ago that the majority of citizens in the Western world had their own unquestioned symbols of collective faith and identity.
